Class​

  1. Class points are to follow the same layout as Series points. The number of points available to be at a fixed rate from the start of the season. For example, if a race class has 5 entrants at the start of the season, the points throughout the season are as follows:
1st: 8
2nd: 6
3rd: 4
4th: 2
5th: 1
DNF: 0
  1. Additional entrants into a class after a season has begun will not result in an increase in class points. Following the example above, the points structure would look like this:
1st: 8
2nd: 6
3rd: 4
4th: 2
5th: 1
6th: 0
DNF: 0

Update 1​

Currently there are 4 potential drivers for the HSC series. Due to the nature of multi-class races, we are currently waiting for more driver sign-ups before announcing our first event. Current time windows under consideration are either Friday Nights with a start time in the range of 21:00-00:00 US Eastern Time or Saturday Mornings with a start time in the range of 09:00-12:00 US Eastern Time. For drivers who are interested, please feel free to message me directly or leave a reply with which time frame would work better for you.
 
Hello, came to post this out here so that everyone can see it. Have any of you thought about advertising the series in any way? Like taking pictures of permitted cars and sorrounding them with information, making it look like a flyer or something. I think we could get some more drivers that way. I can take some pics but I still have some older replays to get through. I think the platform we should share this on is r/granturismo on Reddit, since it has a lot of members.

Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier; only just getting home from the Indy 500. To answer your question? It's certainly doable. I have a number of photos I've taken in Scapes that could do the trick, but I know I need to expand my collection so I can get some more variety in terms of car choice. It's a good idea though for sure. I was thinking of doing this more once we had a large enough field that the event would happen regardless of newcomers.
 
This is something I'd be interested in. I'm based in the UK and with work schedule your proposed Friday night races would work best for me...

Been looking for something to race that Alpine in, or the E Type...

This looks great! Would love to drive in the classic prototype class, but I’d happily drive in the GTs to help fill the field. My PSN is mctoasty13 if you want to send a request.
